If you thought you saw every version of iconic Balenciaga’s Edge Handbag- think again. For SS16, the Edge bag has been reinvented as The Edge Envelope Strap Bag, basically a clutch bag with a front flap while still keeping the brand’s signature look.

The Edge bag is a small bag measuring only 31cm by 20 cm in height. With a soft, slouchy goatskin leather exterior and golden metallic details, our favourite feature is the long leather sling that can be adjusted or removed to be used as a clutch bag. The main compartment is accessed from the top via the front magnetic closure and on the inside it features 3 roomy compartments for all your spare change, phone and keys.

BALENCIAGA METALLIC EDGE BACKPACK

Day 10: I never got behind the backpack trend and bought myself one, but I've been feeling the urge lately. If you want a chic designer backpack look no further than this Balenciaga option. The metallic edge provides a downtown cool touch and there's something utterly perfect and very model off-duty-esque with the Balenciaga black leather backpack.

The office diva and girls-on-the-go will surely love the Balenciaga Papier A5 Metallic Edge Leather Tote, a fully-functional piece that’s made for style! If you’re up for a bag that’s about to become your next best friend (as you go around and take on the world), then this is it!

The piece is made with grainy black calf leather – a beautifully textured exterior that’s highly durable as well! It is also accented with gold-tone hardware that finishes the whole piece beautifully, giving it a shine like no other. Ain’t it glamorous? You bet! It has a front zipped pocket and internal slot pockets which give you more room to organize all of your essentials. You wouldn’t have to fumble around with your belongings because they’re all in there!

Once you fall in love with the Classic City Bag, there is no return. You buy the next one, the next one, and you can’t make up your mind which color you want because you like so many.

And if you love the Classic City Bag, you will also adore the brand-new Balenciaga Classic Metallic Edge Money Wallet.

Yes, it’s inspired by the Classic City… do you see the ‘Self-Finish Studs on the Edges?

The Metallic Design gives this wallet an impressive look – it stand-out, especially if you choose black with Palladium hardware.

And honestly, how many Wallets look like these? It’s truly one of a kind and you can only shop it at Balenciaga store.

Made from durable leather – Shiny Grained Goatskin. And because it’s a Long Wallet, all your necessity essentials can be stored inside. It also features with a flap top, snap closure and leather tassel zipper pull.

Balenciaga released its metal-edged bags a couple of seasons ago, and yesterday, I found myself taking a look at all of the versions on Balenciaga's website. When I came back to PurseBlog to see if we've shared these bags with you, and realized we haven't. So here I am; it's past time that we discussed this slightly updated version of the classic.

Balenciaga has never hit as big as it did with the Motorcycle bags, and I feel like it's fairly safe to say it never will again. The Motorcycle bags made such a massive impact on the handbag world, and it's not often that a design goes from cult favorite to It Bag to classic. There have been so many colors and versions over the years, and a lively resale market has sprung up for the most sought-after colors and leathers.

The metallic edge adds dimension and a little spunk to an already cool bag. There is both silver and gold edging available, and I love both equally for different reasons. I have a City bag right now, but I'm loving the Mini City and would love the additional style the metallic edge finishes adds. Balenciaga clearly knows a good thing when it has it, and adding this small update changes the bag and gives it a new edge.
